I have to admit, these peer blogger awards are just a little bit cheesy, and yet to receive one is totally cool! I mean, it's a great feeling knowing that people read my little blog, and comments are usually the highlight of my day. But when a fellow blogger recognises and refers my little blog to others as a great place to visit... well that's just totally and completely so full of awesomeness! These awards give us little guys that extra boost of encouragement, and that's so cool!
With that said, I was a little surprised, very excited and a whole lot grateful when K. D. Storm, from the blog A Coffee Driven & Adventure Bound Life bestowed on me a lovely blog award. All I can say is, after THANK YOU, she must recognise a fellow coffee-addict when she sees one! Go visit her blog, and tell her I sent you.
The Ten Questions
1.What is your fave song? It's always changing, but right now anything from U2 would be at the top of the list.
2. Favorite Dessert? At the moment it's the world's best apple crumble. Although Chocolate Mousse is right up there too!
3.What ticks you off? Liars. Don't people realise it's it easier in the long run to just tell the truth?
4.When you're upset what do you do? Sulk first, rant later.
5. What is your favourite pet? In my house we have a cat and a rat. The cat wins.
6. Which do you prefer black or white? I'd have to say black, because white shows the dirt.
7. What is your biggest fear? Confined spaces. I. Just. Can't. Breathe.
8. What is your attitude? Do the things you think you cannot do.
9. What is perfection? There is no such thing.
10. What is your guilty pleasure? Red wine, coffee, chocolate. Not always in that order, and sometimes all at once.

And... I'm linking up with Maxabella over at Kidspot for 52 weeks of Grateful! There's even more awesome blogs to check out there. Happy reading!
Congratulations on your award!
ReplyDeleteWell done on the award, I know some of the awesome blogs you mention but there's a couple of new ones for me to check out! My favourite colour is red, but I have been really drawn to yellow lately - it is so cheery and lovely.
ReplyDeleteI can't get over the "oldest child is older than I was when I had him" bit. That must feel surreal!
ReplyDeleteI'm also a middle child... I'm not even sure what the middle child syndrome is!!
Great to get to know more about you and congratulations on your award. x

Thank you soooo much!!
ReplyDeleteThank you for taking the time to read my blog.

Oh WOW - thank you for the recognition !!! This is the first award I have ever won so it is just a little bit special ! I have seen them floating around on other blogs and also thought they were a little lame but now that I have one I have to say I feel very special.
ReplyDeleteSorry it has taken me a while to get to see this - work has got in the way of blogging / mail which is a little rude if you ask me ! Hopefully tomorrow I will get to post my questions and pass this forward to other special bloggers.
Have a great evening - hope you manage to find some ear muffs or a beanie to help keep your ears warm in the mornings.
